APPLICATIONS

PERSISTENT AERIAL SURVEILLANCE

Our tethered drone solutions are critical asset for security operations. The continuous and global aerial view enables long, risk-free and efficient surveillance for both night and day use.

Using tethered drones as virtual ‘Surveillance Towers’ is a simple and efficient solution for semi-persistent applications, with a serious cost advantage over helicopters or manned aircraft. Tethered UAVs can be deployed for long-term operations in order to cover a large area for several hours. Compact, lightweight and quick to deploy for a single operator, tethered UAVs make little noise from a high position, ensuring discreet surveillance.

Our tethered systems are best suited for police forces, public safety operations, firefighting, crisis monitoring or military operations.

Powered from the ground through our patented micro-tether, connected drones are able to fly for hours, allowing long duration surveillance operations, for day and night missions.

Secured

Thanks to the micro-tether, communications are unjammable, immune to interferences and enable real-time high-speed data transmission.

Functional

Robust and easily transportable, our tethered systems are designed for the field. Quick to use and deploy, it is the simplest and most effective solution for persistent aerial surveillance.

APPLICATIONS

Police operations

Facility and asset protection

Emergency First Responder situational awareness

Firefighting

Special Operations Police Forces situational awareness

Border surveillance

Crowd control

Harbour observation

TRAFFIC MONITORING

Due to an increasing number of vehicles on roadways, better traffic management and planning have become imperative.

Our tethered solutions offer continuous and real-time aerial video-stream, allowing persistant data collection and analysis. A tethered drone is a compact tool, easy to transport and deploy, that gives access to various valuable traffic data (trajectories, behaviors, vehicle types etc…), which are crucial information for individual end user (drivers), networks and transport operators or public authorities, to answer mobility challenges.

Count, measure and analyse in order to understand road-user behaviour, analyse trajectories and detec anomalies. With the deployment of a single UAV during several hours, continuously, get a more comprehensive look at traffic nodes.

Our tethered systems offer a wide coverage of traffic areas, enabling data collection and real-time monitoring. The small size of UAVs and the flight height (100m) prevent the driver’s behaviors to be affected.

They have many applications, such as emergency situations, crisis monitoring, firefighting, large events coverage and humanitarian missions.

KEY BENEFITS

Unlimited hovering

Our tethered systems grant unlimited autonomy, as they power the drone from a ground source. It enables the easy creation of temporary telecommunications antennas and networks for hours or days.

High-speed data transfer

Data transfer is a primary concern when using telecommunication devices. Our micro-tether technology allows secured communications, thanks to a physical link, at a high-speed rate.

Cost and time effective

Tethered drones represent a cost advantage compared to expensive towers. They are also easy to set up and use, which allow a better time response in case of emergency communications establishment.

APPLICATIONS

Emergency management, on-demand network

Temporary ad-hoc networks

Cellular signal coverage

Emergency communications establishment

Connectivity (BTOB or BTOC) in remote areas

INDUSTRIAL INSPECTION

Remote inspections of industrial structures and facilities are often costly, hazardous and sometimes impossible to achieve. While the fast growth of unmanned systems soutions is offering an answer, free-flying drones are still limited to a fraction of their potential in industrial maintenance, because of their limited flight time and their low safety level.

Elistair tethering solutions dramatically increase the safety of drone operations through a reliable power supply and secured communications. Immune to interference and scrambling, battery failures and fly-aways, our systems allow safe and efficient commercial inspections, in a variety of demanding industrial environments as airports, wind farms or refineries.

Operating in a volume of operation mastered by the micro-tether, industrial companies and drone operators now beneficiate from a full-control on their flights, facilitating the maintenance and the protection of their assets.

CONTINUOUS AERIAL BROADCASTING

Perfectly suited for sports broadcasting, Elistair tethered systems provide a rich aerial perspective to live filming. Tethered UAVs can revolutionize the entertainment industry by allowing unlimited aerial coverage with high quality aerial live shots, and the best safety standards.

Tethered UAVs are key assets for increasing your audience through immersive aerial filming on large outdoor events like concerts and sports competitions. By offering a safer and unlimited aerial video-stream to producers, our systems bring innovative and visually rich aerial perspectives to live productions.
